Hi Fighter, It’s New Year’s Day as I start this missive and, as is inevitably the case this time of year, I’m reflecting on both the year that’s past and the year ahead. 2013 was a big year for me personally, for my family, for our church and for the Order of the Fighting Fathers. […]

A simple message from my family to yours [imaioVideo v=1] (if you can’t view the video, click here) Make sure you wait until the video has finished as it should then re-direct you to my Christmas tree where you can collect your present. (and if you’re not redirected, click here). I’ll catch you again on very soon.

Hi Fighter, Father Dave here reporting to you from the air – en route to Bali! No, I haven’t pocketed the offertory and fled the country. I’m actually heading to Bali to preside at the wedding of two much-love parishioners – Michael and Felicia. The couple were generous enough to pay for tickets for the

G’day Fighter, What a magnificent time we had last Thursday night at Fight Club! If you missed my invitation, we had six members of the Palestinian Olympic team join us. Not all of the team were boxers but all of them were great ambassadors for their country and a number of them joined in the

Hi Fighter, Forgive my prolonged silence. I’m afraid I’ve just had my head down lately, struggling with balancing my commitments to the church, the youth centre, the fight club, the campsite, my websites and my family. Things are plenty busy at the moment as we get into the lead-up to Christmas. Even so, I’m gulping

Hi Fighter, I’m writing to you from the lovely town of Narooma on our state’s south coast. Our family is taking a few days off at Ange’s partents’ house and, as you can see from the pic below, the children are out frolicking in the sunshine and enjoying the great outdoors! I’m afraid that since

Hi Fighter, Are we on the eve of Armageddon? It’s Father Dave, and I confess that as I write to you today I’m feeling sick in my stomach. It’s not something that I ate or drank (though I have had a second glass of red tonight to steel my nerves). It’s Syria, and it’s what

Hi Fighter, I hope you’ve been travelling well since last we touched base. It’s been a period of highs and lows for me. In terms of what’s been happening in our little hamlet of Dulwich Hill, it’s been almost all highs. In terms of what I’ve seen going on in other parts of the world (such

G’day Fighter, Let me begin today with a big thank you to everyone who responded to my job offer last week. Thank you for the emails. Thank you for the phone calls. Thank you for the prayers. It was wonderful to have people making contact from around the globe, ready to make the big trip down-under.
